In the middle round, Elk Mound dominated play in the first set winning easily 25-3. The Toppers found some energy and resilience in the second set before succumbing to the Mounders in extended action 28-26.
Glenwood City took on Ellsworth in the final round of play and were beaten – 25-9 and 25-10 – in straight sets by the Panthers.
